Comment (by arma):

 Speaking of the mitigator, the original HS design had the services giving
 out tokens to preferred users, who then use the token to get access during
 times of high load. There's lots of work to do for making sure the tokens
 are blinded, figuring out the usability aspects for normal Tor Browser
 users, etc, but I just wanted to remind us of the original vision. Which I
 guess underscores how little of the original vision we ever got around to
 building.
